Singer Yemi Alade Opens Up About Being S#xually Harassed By Music Executives As A Teenager
Nigerian singer Yemi Alade has opened up about the challenges she faced during her early years as a young, struggling female artiste..
She said: “In those beginning days, all I thought I needed was just my talent because that’s what I have. I didn’t have a bank account full of money I could use to sponsor myself.
“I just had a talent and a zeal, and a promise that I made to myself and a promise I believed God made to me. So, I always tried to show up. I was told that I needed to work harder and so I worked harder, and it wasn’t enough. There were doors I needed to walk up to and when I walked up to the doors, they didn’t want my talent, they wanted something else.
“Many times from business meetings to studio sessions to even winning certain awards and you meet maybe the managing director or any other executive and they are trying to rub your thighs under the table. And I was just a teen. My grand pa is rubbing my legs and I can’t speak because I’m in shock.
“We are having an actual business meeting. Why are you rubbing my thighs? I had to speak to myself and decided if music was what I wanted to do because the s#xual harassment was becoming too rampant. But something in me told me to keep pushing my talent. So, I still showed up. If door was left open for me, I would walk in. If it was shut in my face, I would walk away.”
-Singer Yemi Alade in a recent episode of the Swift Conversations podcast.

Singer Tiwa Savage Says She Lost Endorsement For Refusing To Sleep With Company Owner
Popular singer, Tiwa Savage has said the demand for sex from female artistes in exchange of opportunities is one of the major challenges women face in the Nigerian music industry.
Speaking in a panel organised by Entertainment Week Africa, Savage said she has had experiences where she was told to go visit influential male executives before she could get booked for certain shows.
She also revealed that she once lost an endorsement deal for refusing to go on holiday to Dubai with the company’s co-owner.
Savage said the experience made her realise that some executives value her body more than her talent.
She said, “I had been told that if I don’t go and see ‘this chairman’ personally, I would not be put on a show. I lost an endorsement because I refused to go to Dubai with a man who is one of the owners of the company.
“That was when I realised that they don’t value my talent but my body, which I was only flaunting as part of branding. It ended up hurting me because that is all they were seeing.”

Breaking News: Court Sentences Separatist Leader Nnamdi Kanu To Life Imprisonment
Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court has sentenced Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to life imprisonment after ten years of trial.
Justice Omotosho delivered the judgment on Thursday, four years after Kanu was arrested in Kenya under contentious circumstances and brought back to Nigeria.
He was subsequently charged with seven counts bordering on terrorism.
The judgement was delivered in Kanu’s absence after the IPOB leader insisted that the judgement would not be delivered in the terrorism charge the Federal Government entered against him.
Due to the drama that ensued, the presiding judge ordered security agents to bundle him out of the court room for ‘unruly behaviour.’
Omotosho stated that several broadcasts by Kanu, through Radio Biafra, constituted acts of terrorism, adding that his rhetoric and intention were anchored on violence.
The judge also asserted that Kanu’s sit-at-home order in South-Eastern states amounted to terrorism, stressing that the order violated South-easterners’ freedom of movement.
Justice Omotosho maintained that the IPOB leader lacked the constitutional power to order people to sit at home.
According to Justice Omotosho, from the evidence before the court, Kanu carried out preparatory terrorism via his broadcasts through which he ordered the killing of police and military officers.
The court said the IPOB leader is found guilty of committing acts of terrorism against the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Kanu was convicted of all seven counts preferred against him even though the IPOB leader pleaded non-guilty to the charges.
